The record of the Greater Charlotte dub in the six weeks covered by a booklet Just issued and including the shaking down and settlement incident to the new administration augurs well for the work of this organization dur ing the year and throughout the re gime of President Hook and Manag ing Secretary Can-away. The book let shows what has been done, what enterprises have been secured with in that time, covers the trip to Tren ton, and abounds in the things that are counted little In the public esti mation, but which in the end turn out to be colossal things for Charlotte. The club has a mission and the of ficers are acquainted with that mis sion. This is a combination that in evitably works to success. The pur pose of the organization is to keep Charlotte constantly before the public mind in every legitimate way and none dares question the energetic ef forts of the officers in this regard. Their work is bearing fruit so soon as this and the prediction can be ven tured without reservation that when the years find the present administra tion of Mr. Hook and Mr. Carraway at an end, they will find the Greater Charlotte Club at the summit-height of its usefulness and on the run to even greater triumphs for Charlotte. THE SOUTH IN THE SADDLE. The South is to have a new owner ship in the government hereafter and North Carolina Is by no means Isolat ed from the new regime that has Just beeen elected to manage the affairs of this great Nation. "The South is in the Saddle," is the way a Northern con temporary puts it and the expression is apt "With Champ Clark as Speaker and Oscar Underwood as floor leader of the South, and Southerners filling, chairmanships of important commit tees, the vast segment of the United States that has stood unflinchingly and without faltering up along side of the Democracy, is toAhave the rep resentation to which it Is entitled In the overturning at Washington.

The spirit that applied itself to .. the task of guaranteeing a fund sufficient to bring three wonderful artists to the city under the auspices of the Char lotte Musical Association is altogeth ier Charlottesque. The Queen City is rapidly planting itself in the Mirectioh of a musical center, and the beginning of great things along this line will likely follow the program which has Bust been mapped out for the coming feeason. A campaign " has been started in INew.York against useless and extrav agant Christmas giving. It is a wor thy enterprise and . one that should be received with favor; in this community. Giving is the essence? of the spirit of Christmas, but extravagance has come to supercede the other really sensible and creditable elements that go to constitute this grace oa the occasion pf Christmas.

" Hash days after Thanksgiving bear but our idea of the logical sequence bf things of this world AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANCE. In the United States we have been credited by European people with be ing the most wasteful ; people on earth. What is known as the Amer ican plan of hotel is a particularly wasteful institution,, and there Is a general tendency not only to change over from the American to European plan, but to go further than. Europe has ever done ' in charging for sep arate items. There is a movement not to furnish bread and butter free any more,- but to make a small charge for it. This looks like a movement in the direction of economy. . It . does not seem to be the purpose of the hotel keepers to make living more expen sive but to make the individual mak ing an order more economical. The combination of American plan pf ho tel keeping with colored waiters i particular extravagant, because the colored waiter brings the whole hill of fare almost regardless of what the guest orders. We predict that in time the European plan will be brought in lo vogue throughout the country, and that every item of food ordered will have to be reckoned with as a sep arate 'charge. This would reduce American extravagance and waste probably by more than one-half In the ordinary American hotel. AYCOCK DAY. The subject for thought and med itation at North Carolina Day which Is to be observed next Friday is the lamented Aycock.r It is fitting that the children of this great Common wealth should come so early into a conception of the towering character of this splendid chieftain, should learn to adore his spirit of sacrifice and compliment the love which he had for his, State to the end of his life. North Carolina boys and girls ought to ac quaint themselves first of all with North Carolina statesmen and patriots and those who had in hand the matter of preparing a program this year for the celebration of North Carolina Day fell happily upon the subject .of the life of the ex-Governor whose un timely passing is coming more and more to be popularly regarded as a tremendous loss to North Carolina Just at a time when the State Is reaping the fruits of some of his hardest la bor. It is proposed to inaugurate a new. method of handling the cases of those who are deficient mentally and the suggestion comes from the Post Grad uate Hospital of Cornell University. A separate Institution will be establish ed where all mentally deficient chil dren may be placed under expert su pervision and their defects remedied. Each person examined will be sub mitted to a Binet test and the finger prints studied. Nurses will make an examination into the history of the parents. The Binet test consists of a series of questions suitable for chil drenof different ages and when a per son is deficient merftally his answers show that although he may be i4 years of age his mental development is equivalent to that of a child of eight Institutions for mentally deficient children have been established in sev eral States and have proven a bless ing to the child who by careful in struction was son able to take its place in the regular classes of the public schools. - The northern Pacific coast is feeling happy because of the fact that the records show that more than half of the entire exports of the coast find their way through Puget Sound. In addition to the increase of .business in that section of the country is at tractive. The total value of the ex ports from the sound for the year ending June .30 was about $64,000,000 as compared with $89,000,000 in 1911 and $23,000,000 In 1904., Till now the banner year has been 1906, with $39,- 000,000, but 112 surpasses this by $15,000,000. The greatest Increase was in raw cotton, which was export ed to the value of $12,000,000, as against $5,000,000 last year. There was a gain In flour also, while wheat showed a falling off. The increase of exports to Alaska was specially no table. The Durham Sun Saturday issued a creditable edition exploiting the many virtues and advantages of that hust ling North Carolina town. The edi tion is altogether interesting, being ex cellently Illustrated with photographs which flash the development of Dur ham and abundant in reading matter well put together and instructive in information. The Sun is worthy of congratulation for this splendid speci men of work. Community development is a move ment that has found a place on the top of the tide in the revolutions of society. It is transforming old. and obsolete plans of city building and Its distinctiveness lies in its looking for ward to the future. Charlotte abounds in advocates of this movement, and. some who are so enthusiastic for it that they are trying to &elp Charlotte lay Itself out for generations to come. .The fact that some of the Senators and Congressmen should like to have the popular primary for filling offices is so readily understood that no elab oration on their part as to the merits of the scheme is needed. Embarass ments are integral factors in these ais tingulshed positions which they hold. Whether a commission form of gov ernment is best or not, it is very evi dent that the present form oil munici pal management here is not and this is nothing to the discredit to those who. are trying to run the city In such an arrangement. The fact that the cotton fields of the county are cleansed of their sta ple Is hardly more a tribute to the diligence ,of the farmers than it' in the present instance is' a: marked sign of the slothfuiness of the fields them selves. , ; Charlotte will be host this - week to several ' hundred Shriners of North Carolina, who are coming here for their annual fall ceremonial. They will find Charlotte Just as good a city as they are good fellows and the combi nation ought to have happy results. Colonel Harris is becoming so ex pert in his efforts to learn how to use the typewriter that the : hope Is held out that he will be able to resume his accustomed cob-pipe at an early date without ' any serious interruption on the keyboard of the machine.

' Many of us today will be-full of oth er things besides thanks The habitually profane man is the precursor of events unpleasant. They say that "history repeats it self." Your private history Is repeated by the neighbors. Let us remember the poor today and also let us give things worthy of causing them to remember us. Tell a lie to save a friend and he will never be so grateful as to forget that you are a liar. When a man succeeds In saving $10,000 he regards himself rich, but after that he gets poorer all the time. It is a wise man that can remember ten days after the deed was done that it was his wife and not him who did it. How natural for the man who comes back without any game to wish that he had not told so many people he was going hunting.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE Doctors Meet at Newborn Virginia wnas mem moving pictures to Illustrate a Public Lecture. (Bulletin by the North" Carolina State Board of Health.) Tomorrow Newborn entertains the i Seaboard Medical Association. About two hundred visitors wffl attend. The evening meetings wffl be heftd at Tr30 in Griffin's Auditorium, ad win be open to the pubUc The first pebtlo meeting includes addresses of wel come, the annual oration, the presi dent's address, and an illustrated moving picture lecture on The Most Dangerous Animal in the World the Housefly." Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Commissioner of Health of Virginia, will furnish the film, and is slated to describe his Satanic Majesty, the Fly, as he is known. If by any chance Dr. Williams is not able to be there, he will send the fly film and the doctors and the public will be treated to a moving picture fly show, f Moving pictures are rapidly becom-. lng popular as a means of teaching a lot of elementary as well as scientific principles about public health, hy giene and sanitation. By this means we are now able to see exactly how flies develop from tiny eggs to mag gots and then into full grown flies without searching through manure piles, garbage cans, etc. .The dangers of impure water, the prevention of consumption, and the care of babies are some of the pther subjects taught by means of moving pictures. A num ber of States already have a number of films or one or more moving pic ture machines which are sent about on health cars all over the State, teaching scientific truths about health by. means of pictures. A few years ago Dr. Oscar Dowling not only made Louisiana famous by , means of a health car, but made the State literal ly clean up. Now they have a health train in that State which goes about carrying a health exhibit, demonstra tors, lecturers, moving pictures, etc They make short stops at various rail road stations, giving :- lectures and showing pictures at night. During the day the exhibit is open and the hook worm specialists examine and treat hookworm .victims. This is proving a grand suecess, : and other States are adopting the idea. .California - and Mlohigan have already done great work with their health cars. Mary land has a special . tuberculosis car.

' - (Southern Pines Tourist.) Mr.R. C. . Cooi, formerly of .Wil mington, has come to Southern Pines to settle and take charge of a big development of the old - Southern Pines' wine vault property,-two miles south of the town. : i t At present there are something like 2,600 vines in the vineyard. It is the plan of the new management, which has ' bought the property : and will come, into possession- next January, when certain legal obstacles will be brushed aside, to turn it into a great scuppernong nursery. This Winter, or early in the Spring, these 2,500 vines will be laid , on the ground and rooted or tipped, so that from the 1,500 vines at least 750.000 plants will be grown. Mr. Cool thinks each plant will yied 600, or 1,500, 000 in all; hence his estimate of 750, 000' seems to be a conservative one. A year , from the present Winter these plants . will be set out in the company's orchards, scattered along the eastern coast. The scuppernong can be set 100 to the acre. , Tempo rarily twice as many can be placed. but half of them must be. taken out after a few. years. In five years, the scuppernong reaches maturity. It is then past the danger point, having been properly pruned and fertilized. After that it will almost take care of itself. The company will set out large areas for private parties, carrying them to maturity before they turn them over to the owners. It will be seen that the company will do a large business for itself and at the ,same time scatter vineyards throughout this section. , The demand for the scuppernong far exceeds the supply. Certain par ties stand ready to take the product of 10,000 acres of scuppernongs at a price five times as large as is paid for California wine grapes. - The object of J the company for which Mr. Cool is handling this enter prise is to make the Virginia Dare Scuppernong wine, a light table wine which is very popular. "It is said that the scuppernong does not make a par-, tieutarly fine grape Juice, but does make an especially good light fer mented wine. Mr. Cool says the sandhill soil is the natural habitat of the scupper nong. It seems to have the precise elements and Just the right climatic conditions go with the soil to give the scruppernong its finest and rarest quality. THE RABBIT AND THE IAW. Two Recent Court Decisions Handed f Down. (Statesville Landmark.) The hunting season . being on it may interest the sportsmen to know their legal rights as defined by Judge Eure, of the Greensboro police court. Henderson Parks, a colored citizen, "Jumped' a rabbit and a white man shot and killed the rabbit and . took possession. 'Parks claimed the game because be had 'discovered it and of fered the white man a shell to leplace the one he had used In killing" the rabbit. The pale face held on to the cotton tall and refused all offers of arbitration, whereupon the dark-hued hunter raised a row, for which he was haled to court. After hearing the facts the court held that the rab bit properly belonged to Parks and he was discharged. "; - . Tfae Wilmington Terminals. (Morning Star.) The Seaboard Air Line means some thing by its plan to spend $5,000,000 in further promoting its lines in the South. Wilmington has become one of the Seaboard's most important ocean terminals. It has been demon strated that harbor terminals here hove made, this end of the Seaboard Air line a realizing proposition, and it la evidence that completer facili tes at - Wlmngton will- only add strength to the Seaboard system. As the possible link in a Western con nection for the port of Wilmington some of these days, this division of the system is certainly on the railroad map to stay. .

Likewise all dry reading and . no pictures frequently makes a dry subject. This is very true of health work. It is only a partial suc cess to print and distribute health literature. Many of us get tired of reading it. When people can be shown by- means of models, actual examples, moving pictures, etc., some of the things they read about in the health Journals, these things take on a new meaning. Then there are other peo ple who do not read, but only Kok at the pictures. For these people there is nothing equal to actual demonstra tion, such as an exhibit. v To read about a vague, far-away thing does not impress one nearly so much as to see the real thing face to face. Hence we have fairs, exhibits, demonstrations, etc Why not have a public health exhibit or demonstra tion? It could be kept traveling about through every town and county in the State. Other States have health cars why not North Carolina? To make a lasting- impression on a child, show him pictures, models and actual examples.

The biggest problem , before North Carolina : today - lies in the proper, conservation ; of our resources;" utilizing them in such a way as to contribute to industrial Democracy by. providing ,rthat they shall con tribute as largely as possible and as long as possible, to the greatest good of the greatest . number. The State should see to it, by suit able legislation, that a proper use Is made of our waterpowers, of our fields, "forests and mines, of our. un reclaimed lands; of our fish and oyster resources as well as a proper conservation ; of society itself by suitable schools and other means of sccial upllfe. The State geological and economic survey is alef t to the necessities of the case; and under its auspices or in line with: its work some very im portant meetings or conferences are being held. Of these meetings a very important one was the fifth annual convention : of the North Carolina Drainage Association held in Raleigh on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. . , " : . Baptists Have Not Issued a Bible. (Charity, and Children.) The papers are making1 a tremen dous fuss about the Baptist Church having adopted a Baptist Bible and discarding the St. James and the Re vised Version, one of our contempor aries going so far as to " liken them to the Catholics who prepared a Bible all their own. This is another illus tration of the woeful Ignorance of the average newspaper writer about Bap tist ways of doing things. The facts in the case are the American Baptist Publication Society, a business con cern in Philadelphia, , have put on sale for the purpose of making some mon ey, a Bible with the Greek word , for baptize translated immerse. We have no . doubt Jiiis is a truer translation than tbe one we use. but so far as we kno wno Baptist church, North or South, or in the world has adopted this new Bible as a substitute for the one now in use.

Custom decreed that the . upper house should adjourn immediately after meeting today, out of respect for the memory of the Vice President; and in contem plation of this Senators were early In their seats. The outline ' of the - Winter's work seemed Inextricably mixed as Sena tors and Congressmen met in friendly conference,' with the prospect of tar iff revision in the special session that is to assemble under President Wil son, next Spring. In the Senate Re publican leaders were slow to admit the certainty of Democratic control on all tariff problems, even with the great increase in membership that is to come with the new Congress. The ' reassembling of the House drew together a host of men, long prominently identified with Republi can affairs in that body to whom the elections had brought political dis aster. Among them were Nicholas Liongworth of Ohio, John Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Ebenezer J. Hill of Connecticut and John A. Needham of California, all members of the power ful Ways and Means Committee, and leaders in advocation and defense of Republican tariffs. The OM Guard Die. Of the so-called "Old Republican Gnaapd," tbe force that supported and framed the Payne-Aldrich ariff law in the opening' of President Taffs ad ministration, . but two members will remain on the Ways and Means Com mittee after March 4, Representative Payne of New York and Representa tive Pordney of Michigan In the ranks of the "last termers" t also, were Representatives McKlnlay, Wilson, Foss and Prince of Illinois; Representative Norrls of Nebraska, who is soon to step into the Senates Representative Olmsted of Pennsylva nia, and McCall of Massachusetts, Republicans who were not candidates for re-election; and Representative Crumpacker, whose defeat in Indiana gave the Democrats a solid delega tion from that State for the next ses sion of Congress. The extent of Progressive influence nn the Winter session is the subject of general gossip at both ends of the Capitol. - Of the strong Insurgent Republican element in the ? House, which has voted with the Democrats, upon tariff measures during the .. last two years, many will wind up their service with this session. In the Kan sas delegation, Victor Murdock was tbe only, so-called insurgent to return to his seat today with a title for two nore years. Representatives Roose, Young and Jackson, all oompartively new membess, went - down before Democratic opponents. The President's message is usually the most Important business on the reassembling of Congress. But as the first day is marked by so much bustle and oonfaeion of returning Senators and members, with their exchange of greetings, the delivery of the message to Congress, and its formal reading to both houses, " usually goes over to the second day.
